MEMORIAL  ROOM,  HORACE  MANN  SCHOOL, 
NEWBURY  STREET,  BOSTON 


To  somewhat  ennoble 
the  surroundings  of  school 
life ,  to  give  the  children 
a  glimpse  of  a  finer  world, 
would  be  our  wish.  The 
school  children  of  to-day  are 
soon  to  be  the  citizens  of  the 
Republic.

1  is  the  ideal  of  the  League  to  make  the  school- 
house  a  temple  worthy  to  receive,  and  fitted 
to  inspire,  the  children  of  all  the  people  to  the 
dignity  of  free  citizenship  in  the  Republic. 

We  urge,  first  of  all,  that  the  school  build¬ 
ings  be  of  good  architecture,  attractive  with¬ 
out,  and  worthy  to  receive  adornment  within. 

We  would  decorate  the  corridors,  rooms,  and  halls,  with  repro¬ 
ductions  of  the  masterpieces  of  art,  —  photographs,  casts,  and, 
should  our  means  ever  permit,  with  the  more  costly  works  of 
art,  selecting,  arranging,  and  grouping  according  to  the  grade 
and  mental  range  of  the  pupils  concerned. 

This  movement,  though  still  in  its  infancy,  has  already  pro¬ 
duced  visible  results,  not  only  in  Boston  and  in  many  other  cities 
and  towns  in  New  England,  but  throughout  the  entire  country, 
being  taken  up  with  a  zeal  which  would  seem  incredible  to  those 
who  see  in  art  only  a  form  of  luxury. 

S 


The  work  began  in  Boston  in  1871,  with  the  decoration  of  the 
hall  in  the  Girls’  High  School.  In  1883  (School  Document  20) 
the  Boston  School  Committee  suggested  help  and  action  in 
line  with  the  movement  of  the  English  Committee,  headed  by 
John  Ruskin. 

Not  long  afterwards,  in  Salem,  Mr.  Ross  Turner,  feeling  the 
lack  of  appreciation  for  all  things  artistic  in  America,  when 
he  saw  the  handsome  Phillips  School  building  just  completed, 
thought  that  here,  in  the  schoolroom  with  the  children,  was  the 
place  to  begin,  if  America  was  ever  to  appreciate  such  things. 
He  found  the  school  authorities,  teachers,  and  pupils  most  ready 
to  cooperate.  A  considerable  sum  of  money  was  raised,  and  the 
result  was  the  decoration  of  four  rooms  in  the  Phillips  School 
building  with  large  solar  prints  and  casts ;  the  city  tinting  the 
walls  at  its  own  expense.  The  spaces  for  pictures  were  filled 
with  regard  to  size,  nothing  being  sacrificed  to  mere  ornamenta¬ 
tion.  One  room  was  decorated  as  a  Roman  room,  another  as 
American,  the  third  with  subjects  of  the  Italian  Renaissance, 
and  the  fourth  with  Egyptian  subjects.  The  room  of  the  Italian 
Renaissance  is  perhaps  the  most  complete  and  interesting.  Here 
the  light  was  cold  and  cheerless  in  effect,  and  to  offset  this  the 
walls  were  tinted  with  a  light  Venetian  red.  For  decoration, 
five  large  casts  of  the  bas-relief  of  Luca  della  Robbia  were  used. 
The  large  space  at  the  end  of  the  room  was  adorned  with  a  large 
photograph  of  the  “Aurora,”  by  Guido  Reni. 

The  Colonial  Room  has  busts  of  Washington,  Lafayette,  John 
Adams,  pictures  of  Mount  Vernon,  Independence  Hall  at  Phila¬ 
delphia,  etc.  This  school  was  also  presented  with  a  fine  engrav¬ 
ing  (one  of  the  few  rare  ones  of  1801)  of  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill.  This  attempt  at  the  decoration  of  the  Phillips  School 
attracted  instant  attention  among  the  friends  of  education  every¬ 
where.  The  school  was  visited  by  large  numbers  of  people  from 
all  parts  of  the  United  States,  Canada,  and  even  from  Europe. 

Other  buildings  that  have  been  in  part  decorated  in  Salem  are 
the  Bentley,  Bertram,  Saltonstall,  and  High  schools. 

In  May,  1892,  the  Public  School  Art  League  was  formed  in 

6 


Boston,  being  the  first  attempt  to  organize  the  movement  on  a 
large  scale,  and  sufficient  funds  were  collected  to  decorate  two 
rooms,  a  petition  having  been  presented  to  the  School  Board. 
Among  the  twenty-four  names  attached  to  this  petition  were 
those  of  Phillips  Brooks,  Edward  Everett  Hale,  Julia  Ward 
Howe,  Francis  A.  Walker,  Eben  N.  Horsford,  and  Charles  G. 
f  Loring.  As  a  result  of  the  favorable  action  of  the  School  Board, 
a  room  in  the  English  High  School  was  decorated  with  photo¬ 
graphs  and  casts  pertaining  to  Roman  art  and  history. 

A  room  in  the  Rice  Primary  School  was  also  decorated  with 
pictures  and  casts,  mainly  relating  to  American  history. 

In  1894,  the  Agassiz  School,  Burroughs  Street,  Jamaica  Plain, 
with  the  cooperation  of  the  principal  of  the  school  and  under 
the  leadership  of  Mr.  Walter  Gilman  Page,  then  a  member  of  the 
Boston  School  Board,  was  decorated.  The  large  assembly  hall 
was  hung  with  pictures  illustrative  of  American  history,  such  as 
“  Washington  Crossing  the  Delaware,”  portraits  of  Washington, 
Lafayette,  Adams,  etc.,  etc. 

The  upper  corridor  contains  busts  of  Hamilton,  Webster, 
Sumner,  Phillips,  Agassiz,  and  Mann.  The  middle  corridor  is 
filled  with  casts  taken  from  subjects  of  Italian  and  Grecian  art, 
such  as  six  slabs  from  the  Parthenon  frieze,  “Boys  and  Girls 
Singing  and  Playing  on  Instruments,”  by  Luca  della  Robbia,  a 
statue  of  Sophocles,  busts  of  Zeus,  Apollo,  Diana,  Minerva,  etc. 

The  lower  corridor  contains  busts  of  Washington,  Franklin, 
Jefferson,  Lincoln,  Grant,  etc. 

Class  Room  No.  6  is  to  be  decorated  with  subjects  pertaining 
to  English  history.  At  present  it  contains  busts  of  Sir  Isaac 
Newton  and  Shakespeare.  Additions  will  be  made  by  successive 
graduating  classes. 


MEMORIAL  ROOMS 


HE  decoration  of  a  room  in  the  Latin  School,  War¬ 
ren  Avenue,  with  subjects  pertaining  directly  to 
the  war  of  the  Revolution,  was  permitted  by  the 
generosity  of  one  of  the  descendants  of  Samuel 
Adams,  under  direction  of  Mr.  Page. 


7 


Also  one  of  the  halls  of  the  Horace  Mann  School,  on  Newbury 
Street,  was  splendidly  decorated  under  the  personal  supervision 
of  Mr.  Ross  Turner. 

The  style  is  Renaissance,  though  there  are  some  casts  'from 
the  antique. 

The  walls  are  tinted  a  soft  Pompeian  red,  and  the  woodwork 
is  oak. 

At  one  end  of  the  room  is  a  small  stage,  and  just  above  it  is 
a  memorial  panel,  on  a  gold  background.  The  ornaments  and 
lettering  are  white  and  green,  in  Renaissance  design. 

Above  this  are  five  casts  from  Luca  della  Robbia,  in  unbroken 
line,  giving  a  striking  effect. 

To  the  right  and  to  the  left  of  the  stage  are  two  pedestals, 
also  richly  ornamented ;  on  these  stand  two  fine  Japanese  vases, 
of  pale  greenish  hue,  unadorned  save  with  their  own  color.  On 
certain  occasions  these  are  filled  with  flowers. 

On  the  walls,  to  the  right  and  left,  are  busts  of  Apollo  Belvi- 
dere  and  Minerva. 

On  one  large  panel  of  the  wall  are  two  bas-reliefs  from  the 
Elgin  marbles.  On  the  opposite  side  are  placed  busts  of  Wash¬ 
ington  and  Lincoln. 

The  electric  fixtures  for  lighting  the  room  are  also  designed 
to  give  further  effect  to  the  Renaissance  feeling  of  the  decora¬ 
tion. 

GILBERT  STUART  SCHOOL 

r  May,  1897,  in  recognition  and  in  appreciation  of 
the  naming  of  this  school  after  one  of  the  most 
distinguished  of  American  painters,  the  Boston 
artists,  at  a  meeting  held  at  the  Boston  Art  Club, 
voted  to  issue  a  circular  to  the  members  of  their 
profession  in  Boston,  asking  for  contributions  of 
pictures  in  oil,  watercolor,  pastel,  or  black  and  white,  to  adorn 
the  walls  of  the  principal’s  room. 

In  consequence,  the  school  contains  a  collection  of  original 
works  of  art,  many  of  them  signed  by  men  of  wide  reputation 

8 


and  high  standing  in  the  artistic  world.  This  school  is  the  most 
complete  as  to  wall  tinting  in  the  city  of  Boston. 


THE  HIGH  SCHOOL  AT  MEDFORD 

HIS  is  one  of  the  best  illustrations  of  a  decorated 
school  building,  and  is  due  to  the  efforts  of  Mr. 
Dunham  and  others. 

On  the  first  floor  are  pictures  of  the  Landing 
of  Columbus,  Departure  of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers ; 
pictures  of  American  scenery,  such  as  Yellow¬ 
stone  Falls,  Niagara  Falls,  Pike’s  Peak,  Mt.  Shasta,  Yosemite 
Valley,  the  Muir  Glacier,  Mt.  Mitchell ;  portraits  of  George 
Washington,  Martha  Washington,  Abraham  Lincoln,  Grant, 
Longfellow,  Whittier,  Holmes,  Emerson,  Hawthorne,  Lowell, 
Irving ;  the  library  being  decorated  with  pictures  of  Venetian 
and  English  scenes,  famous  cathedrals,  palaces,  and  chateaux ; 
and  photographs  of  many  of  the  masterpieces  of  art,  as,  for 
instance,  The  Last  Judgment,  by  Michael  Angelo ;  The  Last 
Supper,  by  Leonardo  da  Vinci ;  The  Transfiguration,  by  Raphael ; 
and  The  Immaculate  Conception,  by  Donatello. 

The  other  floors  and  rooms  are  decorated  with  equal  richness, 
space  forbidding  a  detailed  account. 


THE  APPLETON  STREET  SCHOOL,  HOLYOKE, 

MASS. 

HIS  school  is  also  very  interesting,  being  especially 
j  well  furnished  with  portraits  of  distinguished  per¬ 
sons  and  photographs  of  noted  buildings. 

Also,  in  Quincy,  Brookline,  Malden,  Wollaston, 
Auburn,  N.  Y.,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  Providence,  R.  I., 
New  Haven,  Conn.,  Chicago,  Ill.,  Oakland,  Cal., 
and  many  other  places,  the  work  has  been  taken  up  with  zeal, 
and  tangible  results  have  been  obtained.

WORK  OF  SOCIETIES 


ANY  societies  and  clubs  have  taken  up  the  work, 
societies  of  women,  in  particular,  doing  loyal  ser¬ 
vice.  Among  the  societies  contributing  are  the 
following :  — 

Society  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  in  the  Com¬ 
monwealth. 

Paul  Revere  Chapter,  Daughters  of  the  Revolution. 

Woman’s  Relief  Corps. 

Appalachian  Mountain  Club. 

Twentieth  Century  Club. 

Women’s  Educational  and  Industrial  Union. 

The  Historic  Art  Club  (Manchester,  N.  H.). 


ADDRESSES  AT  CONVENTIONS,  ETC. 

R.  PAGE  addressed  the  American  Institution  of 
Instruction,  1895,  the  Worcester  County  Teachers’ 
Association,  1896,  and  gave  addresses  at  many 
other  minor  meetings  of  clubs,  associations,  etc. 

Mr.  Turner  has  given  numerous  addresses  upon 
this  subject,  particularly  in  Boston,  Lynn,  Malden, 
Melrose,  Manchester,  N.  H.,  Dover,  N.  H.,  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  and 
Buffalo,  N.  Y. 


PRACTICAL  SUGGESTIONS 

T  would  be  our  desire  to  give  as  many  practical 
hints  and  suggestions  as  possible,  such  information 
as  school  authorities  and  others  interested  are  most 
desirous  of  receiving ;  and  for  that  reason  we  in¬ 
sert  chapters  on  the  following  topics  :  — 

TINTING  OF  THE  WALLS 

A  consideration  of  the  subject  of  wall-tinting  led  to  unexpected 
results,  namely,  that  the  glaring  white  of  the  walls  of  our  school- 

10 


rooms  was  not  only  inartistic  but  actually  injurious  to  the  pupils’ 
eyes,  straining  and  weakening  them ;  and  further  consideration 
led  to  the  welcome  fact  that  art  and  hygiene  were  here  at  one, 
namely,  that  the  tints  which  would  rest  and  please  the  eye  were 
also  those  which  were  most  artistic,  such  as  soft  gray-greens 
or  delicate  shades  of  dull  blue,  while  for  halls  and  corridors  terra 
cotta  tones  afford  a  contrast  to  the  class  rooms.  Tints  should 
be  laid  on  in  flat  washes,  the  depth  of  color  used  should  depend 
upon  the  lighting  of  the  room ;  ceilings  must  be  tinted,  as  they 
reflect  light.  In  general,  thus,  the  tints  are  to  be  selected  accord¬ 
ing  to  the  situation  of  the  room  and  the  lighting  of  it.

LETTERS 


One  may  judge  of  the  active  interest  in  this  work,  and  the 
swift  appreciation  of  it,  by  the  letters  which  have  been  received 
from  all  parts  of  the  country,  showing  eagerness  for  information 
and  a  desire  to  practically  carry  out  all  suggestions. 

Fourteenth  and  Alice  Streets, 
Oakland,  Cal.,  September  16,  1894. 

(43  Mt.  Vernon  Street,  Boston.) 

Mr.  Ross  Turner. 

My  dear  Sir,  —  Knowing  of  the  very  humble  efforts  I  have  made  in  my  Cali¬ 
fornia  home  for  some  time  past,  in  the  way  of  stimulating  an  interest  in  art  in  an 
educational  sense,  my  friends,  Mrs.  Frank  Kimball  and  Mrs.  Grace  Oliver,  have 
promised  to  give  me  the  pleasure  of  an  introduction  to  your  work  in  Salem.  As 
they  are  not  likely  to  be  in  Salem  for  some  time,  and  as  I  may  be  called  back  to 
California  soon,  I  hasten  to  write  and  ask,  if  you  are  in  Salem,  if  I  may  have  the 
pleasure  of  speaking  with  you  upon  the  subject.  At  Caproni’s  this  morning  I  was 
made  all  the  more  enthusiastic  by  hearing  of  the  Art  League  among  the  students  in 
the  public  schools.  Finding  that  Mrs.  Whitman  is  also  away,  and  despairing  of 
help,  I  have  come  to  the  point  directly,  as  you  see. 

With  all  due  apologies,  » 

Yours  very  truly,  Emma  S.  Howard. 

Office  Superintendent  Public  Schools, 
St.  Louis,  Mo.,  February  24,  1897. 

Mr.  Walter  Gilman  Page. 

Dear  Sir,  —  I  am  in  receipt  of  a  letter  from  P.  P.  Caproni  and  Brother,  refer¬ 
ring  me  to  you  in  regard  to  an  exhibit  of  desirable  art  works  for  schoolroom  decora¬ 
tion.  We  are  to  have  in  St.  Louis  during  April  a  meeting  of  the  Western  Drawing 
Teachers’  Association,  and  I  am  very  anxious  to  increase  the  interest  in  good 
schoolroom  decoration.  Mr.  Caproni  seemed  to  think  that  you  would  give  me 
some  suggestions  on  this  subject.  I  am  at  sea  as  to  whom  I  ought  to  write  to  find 
out  the  best  list  of  works  for  school  work. 

If  it  is  not  imposing  upon  your  time,  will  you  let  me  hear  from  you  in  regard  to 
this? 

Yours  sincerely,  (Mrs.)  M.  E.  Riley, 

Supervisor  of  Drawing. 

Office  City  Superintendent  of  Schools, 
Lynchburg,  Va.,  October  21,  1893. 

Mr.  Ross  Turner,  Salem,  Mass. 

Dear  Sir,  —  I  have  read  of  the  movement  in  Salem  and  other  places  towards 
the  beautifying  of  our  schoolrooms,  and  observe  that  the  officials  all  refer  to  you 

2  7 


as  the  originator  of  the  movement  and  the  wisest  adviser  of  those  interested  in  it. 
I  desire  to  make  a  beginning  in  this  line  by  decorating  my  lowest  primary  room. 
Can  you  give  me  any  points  that  will  be  of  use  to  me  in  the  selection  of  pictures, 
busts,  etc.  ? 

An  answer  will  greatly  oblige 

Yours  very  truly,  E.  C.  Glass. 

Rochester,  N.  Y.,  June  24, 1897. 

Mr.  Walter  Gilman  Page. 

Dear  Sir, —  Can  you  send  me  some  information  regarding  the  work  of  the 
Public  School  Art  League  of  Boston  ? 

The  Woman’s  Union  of  Rochester  are  trying  to  do  some  work  in  the  line  of 
schoolroom  decoration,  and  would  be  glad  to  hear  something  of  what  has  been 
done  in  Boston. 

Very  truly  yours,  M.  L.  Hall. 

Mrs.  E.  H.  Hall. 


Newport,  N.  H.,  January  12,  1897. 

Mr.  Walter  Gilman  Page. 

Dear  Sir,  —  Will  you  please  inform  me  of  whom  I  can  obtain  a  copy  of  the 
pamphlet  on  “  Interior  Decoration  of  Schoolhouses,”  of  which  I  understand  you  are 
the  author  ?  As  we  are  nearing  the  time  when  we  shall  decide  on  the  tinting  or 
painting  of  the  walls  of  the  Richard  School  building,  it  is  desirable  to  avoid  any 
mistake  as  to  the  color.  The  plastering  on  walls  is  “  trowel  finish,”  and  “  brush 
finish  ”  on  ceiling.  Our  architects  are  Wilson  &  Webber. 

Respectfully  yours, 

D.  J.  Mooney, 

9  Chairman  of  Building  Committee. 

The  Politico-Economic  Club  of  Weld  County,  Colo. 

Greeley,  Colo.,  May  28,  1892. 

Mr.  Ross  Turner,  Salem,  Mass. 

My  dear  Sir,  —  Miss  Isabel  Howland  called  my  attention  to  some  of  your  art 
work  in  the  schools.  Could  I  not  arrange  with  you  to  have  one  or  two  pictures 
sent,  to  see  how  they  would  do  for  our  schools  here,  and  see  if  we  cannot  arrange 
to  increase  the  interest  in  good  works  of  art.  Would  want  some  of  the  cheap 
framing  that  you  recommend,  with  some  idea  of  the  expense.  Y ou  need  not  send 
them  at  once,  but  give  me  some  idea  of  the  expense,  and  what  could  be  available, 
and  I  will  then  make  remittance  before  shipment. 

Very  truly  yours, 

Fred  E.  Smith,  Treasurer. 

The  Ladies’  Home  Journal, 

The  Curtis  Publishing  Company. 
Philadelphia,  February  6,  1897. 

Mr.  Walter  Gilman  Page, 

90  Westland  Avenue,  Boston,  Mass. 

Dear  Sir,  —  One  of  our  correspondents  writes  us  asking  for  a  “  list  of  one 
hundred  works  of  art  for  schoolroom  decoration,  prepared  by  a  joint  committee 

28 


representing  the  Boston  Art  Students’  Association,  the  New  England  Conference 
of  Educational  Works,  and  the  Public  School  Art  League.”  We  are  advised  by 
Mr.  Ossian  H.  Lang  that  we  can  obtain  from  you  the  desired  information  concern¬ 
ing  this  list,  and  write  to  ask  you  to  kindly  send  us  any  information  you  can  that 
will  be  useful  to  our  correspondent. 

Trusting  to  be  favored  with  your  early  reply,  we  are 

Yours  very  truly, 

Henry  F.  Clark,
